This may differ stat to state, but until the new owner transfers the title
over to them, it is still technically the seller's car. People here in
Washington have been known to abuse this by abandoning the car and having it
impounded or getting a bunch of parking tickets - all of which are the legal
responsibility of the owner, regardless of whom the driver is. No transfer?
Seller is still the owner...

Maybe I'm a little dense here, but uh, what's the problem?  If you gave the
car away/sold the car, it's not yours anymore, even if the paperwork hasn't
been filed with the DMV.  So it's not your problem.  Even if you had done
the paperwork at the DMV, there is no requirement that the buyer turns in
the paperwork immediately.  (For instance, in my state, NC, you have 30
days after the deal is competed to turn in the paperwork.  You only need
the DMV for the Notary Public seal, which you can get done at any Notary
Public, not just the one at the DMV.  If you don't - well there is a big
$10 fine.  So basically we don't worry about the 30 day requirement, if you
don't do it in time, it's only 10 bucks extra.)
